Summary of the invention
the problem that invention will solve
Yet as mentioned above, the mating surface of base tire forms and makes radius of curvature diminish towards its each side away from axially central.So, if having the sulfuration tyre surface of fixed thickness or be incorporated in to the base tire from axial central authorities towards the sulfuration tyre surface of axially each side attenuation, vulcanizing tyre surface will be vertically with arc-shaped bend.As a result, the groove (major trough) extended along length (periphery) direction in the sulfuration tyre surface is stretched vertically, makes between the inner edge of each groove and outer rim and will have larger semidiameter.
Especially for the groove of the outermost locations that is positioned at the sulfuration tyre surface, semidiameter is larger than the semidiameter of the edge of other grooves.As a result, the length of supposing when ground contact length will become than tire design, and be more prone to occur partial wear in the tyre surface radial outside zone of finished tire while on the way using.In addition, in the forming process of the mating surface of base tire, at the width that makes bead part, launch to such an extent that than the rim width of the wheel that is equipped with tire, under wide state, the fetus face of the tire with crossing is polished.So, depending on the aspect ratio of the tire of using, the shape of the tread surface of the shape of the tread surface when finished tire that may exist is assembled to wheel during than polishing is crooked situation further.In such a case, the radius of the axial end portion side of tyre surface trends towards less than the radius of the middle body of tyre surface, and comparing of supposing during with tire design, and the ground contact length in the axial end portion side of tyre surface may become extremely short.The possibility of partial wear in the axial middle section of sulfuration tyre surface when therefore, this will increase finished tire and on the way use.
Make the present invention to address the above problem, and the purpose of this invention is to provide sulfuration tyre surface that a kind of partial wear of tire that can be bonded to vulcanizing tyre surface the mating surface of base tire suppressed and tire that on it, application has such sulfuration tyre surface.
for the scheme of dealing with problems
In order to address the above problem, the sulfuration tyre surface is constructed such that this sulfuration tyre surface has a plurality of grooves that extend along this cured tire face length degree direction on its Width.And, in the Width cross section of tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator to reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at the Width outermost locations and start outwards increase gradually of broad ways from the Width outer ledge of described outermost side channel.
According to this structure, have in the axial direction along in the axial cross section of the sulfuration tyre surface of a plurality of grooves of the circumferential extension of tyre surface, thickness starts from equator reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at axial outermost locations and start to increase gradually to the axial outside from the axial outer ledge of outermost side channel.So, the ground connection shape optimization of the tread surface of this finished tire when the finished tire that can make to have the sulfuration tyre surface on it contacts with road surface.
More specifically, in the axial cross section of tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator to reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at axial outermost locations.As a result, the cross sectional shape along tread surface of having applied the finished tire of sulfuration tyre surface will be level and smooth curve while being applied with suitable interior pressure in inside.In addition, the tread thickness in the axial cross section of tyre surface starts to increase gradually to the axial outside from the axial outer ledge of outermost side channel.As a result, can prevent also not contacting with road surface by the part in the axial outside than outermost side channel of tyre surface.Therefore, because the tread surface of finished tire can contact with road surface in well balanced mode, so can suppress the partial wear of tyre surface.
In addition, another sulfuration tyre surface is constructed such that this sulfuration tyre surface has a plurality of grooves that extend along this cured tire face length degree (periphery) direction on its width (axially) direction.In the Width cross section of tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator to reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at the Width outermost locations and starts broad ways from the Width outer ledge of described outermost side channel outwards to fix.
According to this structure, at tyre surface, have on axially along in the axial cross section of the sulfuration tyre surface of a plurality of grooves of the circumferential extension of tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at axial outermost locations and start outwards to fix vertically from the axial outer ledge of outermost side channel.So, the ground connection shape optimization of the tread surface of this finished tire when the finished tire that can make to have the sulfuration tyre surface on it contacts with road surface.
More specifically, in the axial cross section of tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator to reduce gradually to the equator side edge of the outermost side channel that is positioned at axial outermost locations.As a result, the cross sectional shape along tread surface of having applied the finished tire of sulfuration tyre surface will be level and smooth curve when inside is applied with suitable interior pressure.In addition, in axial cross section, tread thickness starts outwards to fix vertically from the axial outer ledge of outermost side channel.As a result, can prevent the axial outermost part and road surface excessive contact of tread surface.For example, when being applied with interior pressure, with the finished tire with the tyre surface that is applied to the base tire that aspect ratio is higher, compare, the finished tire with the tyre surface that is applied to the base tire that aspect ratio is lower demonstrates in the axially less change of the radius at outermost side channel place.So, in axial cross section, tread thickness starts outwards to fix vertically from the axial outer ledge of outermost side channel, this outer ledge that will prevent the outermost side channel is with the road surface excessive contact or do not contact.Therefore, because the tread surface of finished tire contacts with road surface in well balanced mode, so can suppress the partial wear of tyre surface.
In addition, another sulfuration tyre surface is formed in the Width cross section of described tyre surface, thinner than the section thickness of locating under the line at the tread thickness at Width outermost end place.
According to this structure, in the axial cross section of tyre surface, the tread thickness at the axial outermost place of tyre surface is thinner than the section thickness at place, equator.When result contacts with road surface when the finished product tire, locate under the line along tire, circumferential ground contact length will be the longest.So the tyre surface contacted with road surface of finished tire will have desirable ground connection shape.Namely, do not have tyre surface to scratch road surface, rolling resistance will be smaller and tyre surface in will partial wear can not occur.
In addition, another the sulfuration tyre surface be constructed such that in the Width cross section of described tyre surface, the tread thickness of the equator side edge of described outermost side channel is thicker than the tread thickness at the Width outer ledge place of described outermost side channel.
According to this structure, the tread thickness of the equator side edge of outermost side channel is thicker than the tread thickness at the axial outer ledge place of outermost side channel.This will provide the edge effect in the axial exterior lateral area of tyre surface, improve thus turning to property and stability.
In addition, another the sulfuration tyre surface be constructed such that in the Width cross section of described tyre surface, the tread thickness of the equator side edge of described outermost side channel equals the tread thickness at the Width outermost end place of described tyre surface.
According to this structure, the tread thickness of the equator side edge of outermost side channel equals the tread thickness at the axial outermost place of tyre surface.Therefore, can prevent the axial outermost excessive contact of sulfuration tyre surface when the finished product tire contacts with road surface.
In addition, another the sulfuration tyre surface be constructed such that in the Width cross section of described tyre surface, tread thickness starts from equator to reduce gradually with curve form to the equator side edge of the described outermost side channel that is positioned at the Width outermost locations.
According to this structure, can make the performance of being supposed while take tire design and not cause the tire that the low-rolling-resistance of partial wear is feature.
In addition, for solving foregoing problems, a kind of tire, it has sulfuration tyre surface as described as any one in claim 1 to 6.
According to this structure, the tread surface of finished tire can contact with road surface in well balanced mode, and therefore can suppress the partial wear of the tyre surface of tire.

Below, will be based on exemplary illustration the present invention but not the preferred implementation that is intended to limit the scope of claim of the present invention is described the present invention.For purposes of the invention not necessarily, they comprise structure and the configuration selectively adopted for all features of describing in embodiment and combination thereof.
The specific embodiment
(a) of Fig. 1 is by will tyre surface 1 according to the present invention being bonded to the exploded perspective view of the finished tire that base tire 2 forms.To be tyre surface 1 be incorporated in to the section drawing of the finished tire of base tire 2 via binding layer 3 for intermediary to (b) of Fig. 1.Fig. 2 is the stereoscopic figure of tyre surface 1 and along the tread width direction section drawing of (axially).Fig. 3 is the planar view of tyre surface 1.
As shown in Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b), tyre surface 1 according to the present invention is combined for intermediary via the binding layer 3 of the periphery that is formed on base tire 2.As shown in Figure 2, tyre surface 1 is the tyre surface of the sulfidization molding strip that is preliminary dimension.The cross sectional shape of the broad ways of tyre surface 1 is approximate trapezoid, and this approximate trapezoid has the noncontact face 1a side of the base tire 2 to be bonded to formed with form of straight lines and the contact surface 1b side contacted with road surface for the treatment of formed with wavy form.
Be formed with a plurality of major trough M1 of alongst extending and M2 and in the axial direction by adjacent major trough M1 with M2 is connected to each other or by major trough M1 and M1 axial groove N1 connected to one another, N2, N3 in the contact surface 1b of tyre surface 1 when tyre surface 1 is incorporated in to base tire 2.
Major trough M1 is positioned at the position of the equatorial plane of the more close axial centre as tyre surface, and major trough M2 is the outermost side channel that is positioned at the axial outside of major trough M1.Be formed with the wearing and tearing designator (seeing JIS D 4230) of the wear limit that for example means tyre surface 1 at the bottom land of major trough M1 and M2.
Axial groove N1, N2, the N3 that for example has a same depth with major trough M1 and M2 forms with rule or fitfull spacing along the length direction of tyre surface.The contact surface 1b of the tyre surface 1 in present embodiment is separated into pattern block by a plurality of major trough M1 and M2 and a plurality of axial groove N1, N2, N3.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the contact surface 1b of the side that will contact with road surface as tyre surface, circumferentially the forming with rule or fitfull spacing along tyre surface by major trough M1, M1 axial groove N1 connected to one another.As a result, formed the center running lug 5 limited by axial groove N1, N1 in the axial middle section of tyre surface 1.In addition, in contact surface 1b, circumferentially the forming with rule or fitfull spacing along tyre surface by major trough M1 and major trough M2 axial groove N2 connected to one another.As a result, formed in the axial outside of center running lug 5 the sidepiece pattern block 6 limited by axial groove N2, N2.
In addition, in contact surface 1b, by major trough M2 be called side surface S below tyre surface side surface S() the axial groove N3 that is connected circumferentially forms with rule or fitfull spacing along tyre surface.As a result, formed in the axial outside of sidepiece pattern block 6 pattern block on tire shoulder 7 limited by axial groove N3, N3.
In the present embodiment, for easy, below the equator P1(of usining with respect to the tread width center as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, being called axial centre P1) symmetrical mode illustrates tread contour.Yet actual tread contour is not limited to this explanation of embodiment.
Fig. 4 is the enlarged drawing along the axial cross section of the tyre surface 1 of the line A-A intercepting of Fig. 3.Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 provided tyre surface 1 with tread block 5,6 and 7 axially on the explanation of thickness.
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, center running lug 5 is positioned at the axial middle section of tyre surface 1, the axial centre P1 on riding axially.
The thickness H2 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b at the axial centre P1 lateral edges P2 place of the major trough M1 that defines center running lug 5 and sidepiece pattern block 6 is set to thinner than the thickness H1 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b in tyre surface center P 1.Edge P2 is the equator side edge at the major trough M1 of contact surface 1b upper shed.
In addition, the thickness H3 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b at the axial outer ledge P3 place of major trough M1 is formed thinner than the thickness H2 at above-mentioned edge P2.Edge P3 is the outer ledge at the major trough M1 of contact surface 1b upper shed.
The thickness H4 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b at the axial centre P1 lateral edges P4 place of the major trough M2 that defines sidepiece pattern block 6 and pattern block on tire shoulder 7 is formed thinner than the thickness H3 at above-mentioned edge P3.Edge P4 is the equator side edge at the major trough M2 of contact surface 1b upper shed.
In other words, according to the tyre surface 1 of present embodiment, be formed and make: in axial cross section, the thickest at the thickness H1 at axial centre P1 place, and thickness is according to the order attenuation gradually of edge P2, P3 and P4.More specifically, the axial centre P1 lateral edges P4 from axial centre P1 to the major trough M2 that is positioned at outermost locations, the section thickness of tyre surface 1 is formed vertically and reduces gradually.
Therefore, the thickness of tyre surface 1 is formed from axial centre P1 and reduces gradually to edge P4.As a result, when tyre surface 1 by the width of the mating surface of the bending along base tire 2 with curve in conjunction with the time, connecting edge P2, the P3 of tread block 4 and the imaginary line of P4 will be the dull sweep descended from axial centre P1 to edge P4.More specifically, for the tyre surface 1 that is incorporated in to mating surface, owing to the axis curvature of mating surface, P2He edge, the edge P3 of major trough M1 produces in the axial direction displacement under the state moved away from each other.And, because the thickness of tyre surface 1 is progressive and reduce smoothly from P2Dao edge, edge P3, so the surface from axial centre P1 to P3 is level and smooth, and P2He edge, edge P3 is not outstanding.And, utilization is from the axial centre P1 of center running lug 5 to edge P2 with from the thickness that P3Dao edge, the edge P4 of sidepiece pattern block reduces gradually, and the tread surface that has the finished tire of tyre surface 1 on it will take to make tread surface from axial centre P1 to edge P4 smoothly and the form little by little descended.
It should be noted, the cross sectional shape line that axial centre P1 is connected with P4 with edge P2, P3 is preferably for example smooth curve of approximate polishing line.But the shape of line can be the line that makes line extend with step or linear fashion in each pattern block.In addition, the rate of descent of thickness also can at random be set.
Then, provide the axially explanation of the section thickness in the outside of tyre surface of edge P4.
The thickness H5 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b at the P5 place, edge in the axial outside of major trough M2 is formed for example thinner than the thickness H4 at above-mentioned edge P4.Edge P5 is the axial outer ledge at the major trough M2 of contact surface 1b upper shed.The thickness H6 from noncontact face 1a to contact surface 1b at the P6 place, edge of the contact surface 1b side of the tyre surface side surface S of tyre surface 1 is formed thicker than the thickness H5 at edge P5.Edge P6 is the axial outermost edges of the contact surface 1b of contact surface 1b and tyre surface side surface S junction part.Namely, edge P6 is the axial outermost edges of the ground area of tyre surface 1.
More specifically, thickness H5 at the P5 place, edge in the axial outside of major trough M2 is formed thinner than the thickness H4 at P4 place, edge, and section thickness increases to axial outermost edges P6 gradually from edge P5, make the thickness H6 at P6 place, edge equal the thickness H4 at P4 place, edge.
In other words, section thickness is so that the mode identical with thickness H4 at P4 place, edge starts to increase gradually from edge P5 at the thickness H6 at P6 place, edge.In addition, the line in cross sectional shape, P5Yu edge, edge P6 connected is set to for example straight line.
As mentioned above, the thickness H5 at the outer ledge P5 place of major trough M2 is formed thinner than the thickness at P4 place, edge.As a result, when tyre surface 1 by the curvature along mating surface in conjunction with the time, form the surface from axial centre P1 to edge P5 with level and smooth curve, and P4He edge, the edge P5 of major trough M2 is not outstanding.
In addition, tyre surface 1 is formed and makes thickness increase gradually to the edge P6 as its axial outermost edges from the outer ledge P5 of the major trough M2 that is positioned at axial outermost locations.As a result, during in conjunction with tyre surface 1, tyre surface 1 can be bonded to mating surface from P5Dao edge, edge P6 with best curve when the curve of the shoulder zone along base tire 2 (its curvature marked change).Namely, can reduce from the increasing gradually on thickness of P5Dao edge, edge P6 the semidiameter between P5Yu edge, edge P6 that may be easy to occur at finished tire that the marked change due to the curvature of the mating surface in the shoulder zone of base tire 2 causes.In addition, when tyre surface 1 is incorporated in to mating surface, the thickness H6 at P6 place, edge that is formed the thickness H4 equaled at P4 place, edge will guarantee to form from edge P4 the surface via P5Dao edge, edge P6 with smooth curve.This will prevent when the finished tire with tyre surface 1 contacts with road surface the excessive contact as the edge P6 of the axial outermost edges of the contact surface 1b of sulfuration tyre surface.
Tyre surface 1 is formed under the state of the above-mentioned relation that makes the thickness on maintaining axially at the section thickness of any given axial positions and upwards all fixes in its week.Namely, when at any given circumferential position place, tyre surface 1 axially being cut, it is identical that the shape of contact surface 1b keeps.
Fig. 5 is the section drawing that another shape of tyre surface 1 is shown.In aforementioned embodiments, the section thickness of tyre surface 1 is formed from P5Dao edge, edge P6 to be increased gradually.Yet the difference of present embodiment is: section thickness is fixed from P5Dao edge, edge P6.
As shown in Figure 5, the tyre surface 1 in this embodiment is formed with following section thickness on axially.The thickness H1 at axial centre P1 place is the thickest, and then thickness is formed the attenuation gradually from P2Dao edge, edge P3Dao edge P4.And the thickness H5 at P5 place, edge is formed thinner than the thickness H4 at P4 place, edge, and the edge P6 that thickness H6 is formed from edge P5 to the axial outermost edges of conduct fixes.Namely, the mode with straight line forms the cross sectional shape from P5 to P6.
According to present embodiment, the thickness of P5Dao edge, the edge P6 of the tyre surface side surface S lateral edges from the major trough M2 as being positioned at axial outermost locations of tyre surface 1 is formed fixing.As a result, when when thering is the base tire 2 of low aspect ratio, can with optimum curve, tyre surface 1 be bonded to mating surface from P5Dao edge, edge P6 along the curve of the shoulder zone (its curvature marked change) of base tire 2.In other words, when being applied with interior pressure, with the base tire 2 with higher aspect ratio, compare, on the curvature of the mating surface of the base tire 2 with low aspect ratio in the shoulder zone as axial outermost locations, demonstrate less variation.So, when when tyre surface 1 being applied to the base tire 2 with low aspect ratio and manufacturing finished tire, make will produce from the smooth curve of P5Dao edge, edge P6 from the thickness of P5Dao edge, edge P6 is fixing.This will prevent when the finished product tire contacts with road surface the excessive contact as the edge P6 of the axial outermost edges of tyre surface 1.Therefore, the tire that is combined with the tyre surface 1 of this embodiment contacts with road surface in the unusual mode of balance due to its contact surface 1b and can suppress the partial wear of tyre surface 1.
Tyre surface 1 in each aforementioned embodiments is all for example used the moulding of compression type vulcanizer.
Although not shown, vulcanizer is equipped with the contact surface side mould of the contact surface 1b side moulding for making tyre surface 1 and for making the noncontact face side mold of its noncontact face 1a side moulding.Machine can receive the tire tread material that forms in advance bar (band) shape in the molding space limited by two moulds and under set pressure and be heated.
The surface of contact surface side mould is formed with the decorative pattern as the convex-concave section of the anti-line of the tread contour on tyre surface 1.Therefore, during against the surface-pressure of contact surface side mould, can produce the tyre surface 1 with expectation tread contour when the surface of tire tread material.On the other hand, the surface of noncontact face side mold is formed flat surfaces.So the surface facing to flat surfaces of tire tread material will be formed the noncontact surface of tyre surface 1.
Hereinafter, will there is the tyre surface 1 of section thickness as mentioned above and be bonded to the general introduction of manufacturing process of the finished tire of base tire 2 by providing.For example can be by with unshowned sander machine, removing to obtain the base tire 2 shown in Fig. 1 with the fetus face of the tire of crossing.Although not shown, but sander machine is equipped with rousing of can being kept the tire with crossing that is applied with interior pressure and is positioned at the position relative with drum and has the mill of cutting part, wherein cutting part can be cut the fetus face of the tire by mistake of the state in being rotated by drum.The drum of the cylinder that a plurality of bulging part of installing as the mode by with can enlargement and contraction forms can keep the tires of using of different sizes regularly.In addition, drum has the flange to separate to set a distance in the axial direction along periphery.The flange corresponding with the rim flange of wheel closely is fixed thereon pair of bead section when interior pressure is applied in the tire crossed.
Mill by with can near or away from by drum, kept with the tire of crossing mobile and can along by drum, kept with tire and axially movable mode is installed.And make the fetus face of mill near the tire of using rotated, and by the cutting part contact fetus face the mobile in the axial direction fetus face of little by little removing that make mill.In this mode, can produce the there is reservation shape base tire 2 of mating surface of (polishing line).
Periphery along the base tire 2 formed by said process is placed in mating surface in connection with layer 3.For example, by using extrusion shaping machine that glue material is extruded into to uniform thickness and will be formed on mating surface as the binding layer 3 of the uncured rubber that is known as cushion compound.
Now round the mating surface of the base tire 2 that is equipped with binding layer on it along the above-mentioned tyre surface 1 of circumferentially reeling.
Namely, for intermediary, temporary transient and base tire 2 forms as one via binding layer 3 to make tyre surface 1.Then, the tyre surface 1 and the base tire 2 that temporarily are integrated each other are placed in the sealing bag that is known as envelope (envelope).
